I just saw a turkey limping across the road by an industrial park :( I don't suppose there's anything I can do? Since it wasn't stationary and I doubt they'll go looking around the woods for her? And I assume they will say it's nature? Just sucks cause I wish I could help :( maybe there is a way to help that I'm just not aware of? I don't want her to starve to death or die a slow death by some predator but I suppose that's nature and the predators have to eat too, not like she's a pet chicken i can protect? Not even sure why I'm even posting this since i kind of answered my own question but i guess I just felt kind of bad for the turkey and was hoping there was something I could do. Also, how would a turkey have injured her leg?

Could be it was attacked and escaped , many reasons. Could have hatched with a bad leg. No telling. Can probably still fly so no catching it.

Yeah, you're probably right. It was going slow enough I might have been able to and almost hit it (wasn't really paying attention) but it was on a bad curve so couldn't stop. Plus was trying to get to a store before 5 hah

Anyway, I hope it's okay and maybe it's leg will heal

You would be surprised how resilient animals in the wild are. They seem to adapt. One of my wild turkey's always limped, but man could she fly. I saw her out and about for at least three years. I haven't seen her recently, but they know its turkey season, so I won't see them again until after the season is over. I do hear them every morning just the other side of the hedge row.

Wow that's awesome! Maybe she'll be okay then :)

And i hadn't realized they hid like that but it makes sense
 
Good Morning Friends :hugs

Many thanks for your support during my mini-vent. All good again today and I remind myself that ‘my reaction is my responsibility’ :)

CB777 Gabbie is just too adorable! :love

Beautiful snow picture Capricorn!

We have one of these for throwing the ball for Jessie who is tennis ball obsessed! It works really well:

It is only predicted to get to 89.5F today, a slight reprieve ;) Plus, a 50% chance of some welcome showers and/or a tropical storm but I am not holding my breath.
